There is no way to let Zhang Di and them graduate and enter the agricultural school. Zhang Di has learned more than Zhang Juan and Zhang Yang for one year, and his foundation is much firmer than theirs, although he is one year younger than them. It is calculated that it is the level of primary school students in later generations, but I have seen more in agriculture and have a solid foundation. However, even if all nine of them joined, there would only be sixteen people in the Agricultural Academy.

These 16 people will observe and experiment on the growing environment and breeding of rice and wheat, and guide other students and villagers to improve agricultural techniques. Although some of the new children were over 15 years old, they were only illiterate people who knew only a few words, and Zhang Chun told them to study for at least three years before they could graduate and transfer to the agricultural school. That is to say, at this rate, it will not be until seven years later, when the child who was still studying at the age of four and now graduates at the age of eight, that Zhang Chun will be able to get a student with a high degree of Chinese.

Before that, the students were basically pulling out the seedlings and helping to grow.

Zhang Di's work, mainly to observe and record, is to prepare for later people.

Zhang Chun plans to establish an agricultural research institute on the basis of the agricultural school in a few years. Therefore, the agricultural school was further rebuilt, with two three-story brick and concrete buildings. One is a dormitory building, the other is a teaching building, and there are classrooms and a herbarium in it, and there is also an "academic hall" because you still need to learn other knowledge. In addition, a library was specially built, and all the books on agriculture were moved to the library, so that Zhang Juan and the others could consult and study on their own, and at the same time, Zhang Juan and the others were required to make a complete record of their observations, and then handed them over to Zhang Chun for review and revision as basic materials for future compilation of teaching materials.

In front of the medical hall is the health center, with treatment rooms, operating rooms, and pharmacies, and the backyard is also two small buildings, with a layout similar to that of the Agricultural Research Institute, mainly used for study and research. However, the number of people in the health centres is much smaller.

Zhang Xiu and the others can't do dialectical treatment, but they are also doing the collection, mapping, medicinal property records, growth environment observation, and collecting and sorting out every prescription and medical case of Ning Bo. Nimber gave a detailed explanation every time, and moved all his medical books to the health center. It's just that Ning Bo is from Qianjiang and is old, so he will go to his hometown next year.

Zhang Xiu from the health center took her two sisters to move directly to the agricultural school, she was already investigating Chinese herbal medicine, plus she studied maps, and she completed the mapping work, she wanted to complete the distribution map of crops and plants. So I ran to the agricultural school. The self-made small tablet used for surveying and mapping, this eldest sister uses it very slippery, and her basic painting skills are also very good, and it is of great significance to cooperate with the plant survey of the agricultural school.

There are a lot more books in the medical hall. There are very few books in the agricultural school except for basic evolutionary theory, biology books, and some basic books on taxonomy. However, medical books such as the Compendium of Materia Medica of the Medical School have a very obvious reference role for agriculture. The exchange between the agricultural school and the medical school is indispensable.

Zhang Chun's lectures in the Agricultural School are the most, but Zhang Chun's speeches are all miscellaneous and not systematic. In addition to some very specific speeches, such as the principle of making farm fertilizer, the principle of farm fertilizer fermentation and the growth environment of bacteria, the breeding and optimization of species, rice planting and water and fertilizer management, paddy biological population and biological control, aquatic biological population and environment, etc. In fact, Zhang Chun just said these contents casually, and put forward many concepts, but the actual content was not enough, and needed to be supplemented by the agricultural school. Because this knowledge is related to agriculture and closely related to the daily life of these children, there are many people who like this course. Most of the children who are still enlightened in the Zhangjia compound may have to go down this road. However, agriculture is not only planting, but also the agricultural concept of agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery. However, Zhang Chun has always emphasized the balance of ecology, and is not too willing to carry out artificial breeding in Beiguang Lake, and even the aquaculture industry is limited to a certain scale, in addition to eating, mainly to meet the production of farm fertilizer. On the contrary, grass and trees were planted on both sides of the lake mouth to the Beiguang River to carry out greening, and the air and water environment were things that Zhang Chun had been talking about, and the lessons of later generations were too profound.

Chemistry, mechanics, and electricity in the engineering school are not so easy, because the number of people is small and the age is very young, so let them continue to study with Hu Dengping.

In 1901, the Russians forcibly occupied the three eastern provinces, and Galeries Lafayette wanted a new policy, and Zhang Zhidong's new policy was implemented. However, it still didn't move Gu Ming's heart.

The Qing government paid 450 million taels of silver to the foreign powers, wasn't it a letter of surrender from the warlords to the foreign powers? Tian Fu directly quadrupled, and it was the common people who suffered. The commercial tax is more complicated, but the merchant has money and does not care which point. Except for small businessmen, the business community began to integrate, the big fish eat the small fish, and the small fish have only a dead end.

Zhang Chun knows that this is not all, because the tax revenue of the Supreme Qing government has increased tenfold, which means that it may double next year. The imperial court wants to enjoy itself, it wants to pay indemnity, and new armies from all over the country want to be formed, and this all costs silver.

Of course, the actual taxes are to be seen, because these taxes are reported by each family, and the chief of each family goes to the money and grain cabinet to report it.

For example, Zhang Chun's transaction in Zhupishan was 1,100 mu, but the deed only wrote 200 mu of paddy fields, and Yuan Fang measured out that there were 394 mu of paddy fields. Zhupi Mountain, mountains and hills, a total of 8,000 acres. With Zhangjiabao and Niutou Mountain's more than 10,000 acres, not much smaller.

Zhangjialing is registered with the government, only counting paddy fields, a total of only 1,000 acres. In fact, there are nearly 4,000 acres of paddy fields and nearly 1,000 acres of dry fields.

It's not that the government doesn't know about these lands, but that the officials ask for money. Zhang Chun had to give the county lord at least fifty taels of silver every year. As for how he divides it, it is the default rule of officialdom.

After Zhang Chun accepted Zhupishan, he did not count the grain he used and stored. All the income was more than 1,800 taels of silver. Zhangjiabao's life and construction are basically self-sufficient, so except for the children's study, salt, a small amount of kerosene and Western medicine need silver, but it can't stop the crowd, so it was directly spent 1,200 taels, and all the rest was returned to Zhang Fenglan. This is also because Zhang Chun personally did not spend any money and did not leave any savings.

Zhangjiabao's income is not small, but personally, Zhang Chun died poor. You must know that Zhang Yang's family has had more than 2,000 taels of silver in three years, bought a house in Yunlong Town, is buying a new loom, and opened a textile branch with Zhang Fenglan. When the fields of Jinjiling were thirteen years old, they were the dowry of Lizhi. Zhang Yang's thinking is very open, anyway, it is now planted by Zhang Chun's labor.

Gu Ming is now not only the instructor of the escort team, but also Zhang Chun's master. The whole Zhangjialing now has Mengxuetang, farms, and four villages, big and small things need to be coordinated, plus external relations, Zhang Chun doesn't want to care, so he has become Zhang Chun's master since the day Gu Ming came, and he is so busy all day long.

The construction of the wharf in Nanzhang Village has been completed. In order to avoid suspicion, Wu Ying suggested that Gu Ming open a grocery store at the wharf, which was responsible for collecting mountain goods from Niutoushan and Zhupishan, as well as trading mountain goods and porcelain with Yongfeng Commercial Bank. Wu Ying is responsible for procuring necessities, so that income and expenses are divided. There will be a lot less gossip. After all, the materials produced by Zhangjialing are mainly sold through the Wu family's trading house, and Wu Ying is still a little taboo.

But Gu Ming is a soldier, it's okay for him to coordinate affairs, let him go to a farmer to take care of everything, he really can't do it.

In April, Yuan Fang's third brother Yuan Dingguo returned from Japan and studied not military science, but business. There must be something wrong with this. But just took over the docks and grocery stores.

Yuan Dingguo's first words when he saw Zhang Chun were: "I am a member of the Xinghan Society, and I want to rebel." ”

Zhang Chun squirted out a mouthful of tea, this eldest brother is still so straightforward, and he can take the initiative to say it when he rebels.

Yuan Dingguo didn't blink his eyebrows and said, "Although Mr. Liang has a recommendation, I came here to look at my sister's face." So I take over the docks and the grocery store, can the little boy rest assured? ”

Zhang Chun smiled: "There is only one point, I am so poor that I can't afford to pay for the revolution. ”

Yuan Dingguo frowned and said, "It seems that you know about the revolution, I just borrowed the treasure land." However, if you are a day errand for Childe, you will be responsible for Childe for a day. ”

Zhang Chun nodded and said, "One more point, there are some things that I, Brother Gu can say." Others are still a little evasive. ”

Yuan Dingguo always stared at this twelve-year-old child, and suddenly smiled: "I have long heard my sister-in-law and brother-in-law say that you are a genius, Mr. Liang and Mr. Sun are very interested in you, but I didn't expect it to be true." ”

Zhang Chun shook his hand and said, "No need, I don't have any ambitions, I just want to protect my family and the people." ”

"Protecting the family and the people will raise hundreds of dead soldiers?" Yuan Dingguo raised the corners of his mouth.

Zhang Chun was not happy: "Who said this?" ”

Yuan Dingguo smiled and said: "What I said, although they are not dead soldiers, but they are not dead soldiers, it lies in your thoughts." ”

Zhang Chun sneered: "I will not let anyone be a dead soldier, I have not deprived others of the right to live, if the revolution is what Mr. Yuan said, then I am grateful for it." ”

Yuan Dingguo laughed, stood up and bowed to Zhang Chun and said, "I thank you for my sister-in-law and brother-in-law." Yunlong Town, you are not the richest, but you are the most powerful, I don't want my sister to die in vain. ”

Zhang Chun looked at him in amazement.

Yuan Dingguo shrugged his shoulders very Westernly and said, "I used to be a member of the Xingzhong Association, but now, I'm back." ”

It seems that Yuan Dingguo really has changed in Japan, and it is impossible to say whether his temperament has changed, after all, Zhang Chun has only seen her once, and even Yuan Fang has not had much contact with when he grows up, but it is obvious that he is no longer the passionate teenager, and his mind is much deeper. Yuan Dingguo is actually only a few months older than Yuan Fang, and he was born to Yuan Fang's mother, and there are only these two people left in the Yuan family now. Yuan Dingguo is at least kind to people and things on the surface, but it seems that no one can enter his heart. He and Hu Dengping were born the same, so they got closer, but Hu Dengping and his family were completely like sons and talented women.

Yuan Dingguo has three points for people and seven points behind his back, which seems to be his favorite since he was a child, because he is a concubine, and he can only play with Yuan Fang at home before. Now this character manifests.

Yuan Dingguo still has the ability, he has been in contact with businessmen since he was a child, and he studied business in Japan, even if he didn't finish it, he was much smarter than ordinary people. The arrival of Yuan Dingguo finally allowed Zhang Chun to have a stable income and be able to engage in construction with peace of mind.

Zhang Chun's way of employing people even made Gu Ming a little uneasy, but Zhang Chun said that unless Yuan Dingguo didn't want to have any future, he would only have a grocery store and a dock, and if he didn't work hard, he wouldn't even be able to keep it.

Gu Ming was relieved, because he understood that Zhang Chun's eyes were definitely not just such a little industry, otherwise what would he do if he worked so hard to cultivate talents?

After all the Zhupi Mountains were returned to Zhang Chun, Beiguang Lake became Zhang Chun's bag.

Beiguang Lake, with an area of about 800 acres, is formed by the convergence of the Beiguang River because of the blockage of Jinji Mountain. Historically, heavy rains caused the water level of Beiguang Lake to rise, and the rice fields of Zhangjia in Jinjiling flowed into the Nanhe River. Until now, there is still a flood channel leading to the Nanhe River in Jinjiling. This aqueduct is also the boundary between the current Zhupi Mountain and Jinji Ridge. Of course, this line is the result of Zhang Chun's discussion with Zhang Yang's family. At that time, the Wu family and the Zhang family had some fields on both sides of this canal.

The terrain of Beiguang Lake is higher on the side of Zhangjiabao, and there are more rocky banks, and there are shallows full of reeds when you reach the section of Niutou Mountain, and the river is relatively deep.

There are a lot of shallows on the side of Jinjiling and Zhupi Mountain, but the soil layer is also shallow, and the Zhangjia of Jinjiling planted some lotus roots in the past. However, I only went to the flood channel, because it was the original Li family's territory. Now it's Zhang Chun's territory.

Zhang Chun and Zhang Yang discussed that they wanted to plant lotus flowers in the shallows on the north shore, but now they are only sparse and sparse aquatic weeds.

Because Zhang Chun didn't want to transform the shallows into lotus fields with Zhang Yang's family, he just planted some lotus root knots along the shore of the lake. These are all separated from the lotus root fields of the Zhang Yang clan. The variety is very good, very sweet white lotus root.

Dozens of children are splashing in the water, and doing things is secondary, and having fun is the most important thing.
